Experience the beauty of nature at this stunning lake house, recently renovated for your comfort. This beautiful retreat with breathtaking views is perfectly suited for those looking to immerse themselves in tranquility, reconnect with loved ones, and savor the gentle embrace of nature. Create unforgettable memories in a unique and family-friendly atmosphere. Book your trip now and start planning your dream vacation.
IMPORTANT: A lien waiver is required to book the house, and by booking the property, you are automatically agreeing to the terms of the lien waiver.
The House is located on Williamstown 330-acre lake ( a hidden paradise in Northern Kentucky that offers boating, fishing and water sports). This retreat is nestled in trees that sweep down through the riparian shrubbery from the home to the property’s private dock. Whether by day or night the lighted staircase will carry you to the magic of the shoreline where you can enjoy the ever-changing panorama or take a refreshing dip from the lake.
The house is designed to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside, with a screened living room that's perfect for relaxing and taking in the fresh air. The comfortable furniture and two fans will keep you cool and comfortable on even the hottest summer days.
The house decor is rich in eclecticism, comfortable furnishings and beds; Fun art that showcase the beauty of the house.
The fully equipped kitchen features top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, stunning quartz countertops and backsplash, and all the coffee-making essentials to start your day off right. But that's not all - with decks, docks, and flip flops at your disposal, you can make the most of your time in this beautiful vacation home.
Escape into your own personal entertainment haven in the cozy family room, complete with a 58" flat screen TV that offers endless streaming options and live TV via Roku TV. And with WIFI access, you'll have everything you need for a movie marathon or an evening of binge-watching your favorite shows. Get ready to kick back, relax, and let the world slip away as you lose yourself in your favorite entertainment.
The Deck or The real star of the show:
As you step out onto the deck, you are immediately met with breathtaking views of the lake. A lounging area for two beckons you to lose yourself in the serene surroundings. The outdoor dining area, complete with a table that seats eight and a gleaming BBQ, invites you to savor every moment as you dine al fresco with loved ones. A staircase, adorned with warm, inviting stair lighting, leads you down to the dock, where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of your surroundings. The deck is truly a place of wonder and tranquility, offering endless opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Wake up to stunning lake views in the luxurious master bedroom, complete with a comfortable king size bed, cozy recliner, and a 50" TV. Step out onto the private deck through the large glass sliding doors and make your way down to the dock. The second bedroom boasts a plush queen size bed, and the third bedroom has full over full bunk beds, perfect for a family getaway. With two full bathrooms, everyone can easily freshen up before exploring nearby attractions like the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum.
This gorgeous home offers a value proposition that’s hard to match. Be sure to add it to your list of vacation rentals.
IMPORTANT Guest Information for Your Stay at the Lake House:
Please be aware that our facility does not offer kayaks, canoes, or boats as part of the accommodation. However, you have the option to rent these from external vendors who provide these services.
For those interested in larger boat activities, our dock may not be suitable due to its shallow waters. We recommend visiting Williams Town Marina for all your boating needs, whether you're bringing your own or planning to rent.
Access to the lake house includes a final approach of about 1/8 of a mile on a road composed of dirt and gravel. This stretch can present uneven or rough conditions, especially during certain seasons. For optimal safety and comfort, we recommend bringing a vehicle with good clearance and robust tires, preferably a 4-wheel drive.
Included amenities:
Complimentary Supplies: As a gesture of our hospitality, we offer an initial supply of toiletries and household essentials for your convenience. Should you require additional items during your stay, local stores are readily available for your shopping needs.
Grill Facility: We are pleased to provide a grill for your use. Kindly note that we do not offer a propane refill service on-site. However, you are welcome to refill the propane tank at the nearest store, ensuring a seamless grilling experience.
